Featured obituary:

Thomas "Tom" Miles Chambers, 64, of Wilmette, Illinois, passed away in his home on July 6, 2018 after more than a year of living with cancer. Tom grew up in LaGrange, Illinois, the great-great-grandson of LaGrange founder, Franklin D. Cossitt. He attended Lyons Township High School where he was a National Merit Finalist and devoted DJ at WLTL.

Tom’s passion for architecture was apparent at a young age when he would design baseball stadiums to the exact seating. In high school while attending a concert at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago, he mused if he could design a structure as beautiful and acoustically perfect as that theater, he would be a fulfilled person.

He attended the University of Notre Dame (Class of 1977) where he studied architecture, spent a year in Rome, and met his soulmate and best friend of 42 years, his wife Meg Rockey Chambers. They moved to Chicago, married and raised three lovely children and one grandchild.

His architecture career was mainly with three firms: Murphy/Jahn, Reynolds, Smith and Hills (RS&H), and Solomon, Cordwell, Buenz (SCB). Early on he developed a specialty in airport design. Some highlights of his portfolio included the United terminal at O’Hare Airport in Chicago, Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, and Duluth International Airport, among many others.

Outside of work he was a lifelong Notre Dame football and Cubs baseball fan, a follower of the Grateful Dead, connoisseur of classical music, and an informed and opinionated classic movie buff. He was a man of few words, but never short of passion, advice, or dry, sharp wit.
Nothing was more important to Tom than his family. He will be sorely missed by his wife, Meg; his three children, Sean, Moira, and Meaghan (Alan) Weed, and grand daughter Chelsea; his siblings Nancy Kenney, Katie Haskins, and Dan, as well as many loving nieces and nephews.

A funeral Mass will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 21, 2018, at St. Francis Xavier Parish, 524 9th Street in Wilmette. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to: DAM-CANCER Foundation, P.O. Box 13386, Palm Desert, CA 92255
